A 6 X42 with "duplex" crosshairs is, in my opinion, the best scope/ power available for the normal guy/normal use. Whatever that is, other than me. 4X would be second. Most of my scopes are variables, however, because that's what is/was most commonly available at reasonable prices before I learned better.
They work, and I'm too lazy to sell them off and rebuy 6X42 scopes all around. But variables are what sell (and what has been "sold") to "the common man" - i.e, the most scope buyers.
I've a 3X Leupold I should hang on something, but it has very fine crosshairs, which I am not fond of.
